About Us:

​

 

We are a 501c3 foster-based rescue. We primarily work with poodles and doodles, but occasionally have other breeds. We rescue dogs from area shelters, or from individuals who must surrender their pet due to various circumstances.

​

Our dogs are fully vetted, microchipped, and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. 

​

Many of our dogs are adopted out like a traditional rescue. However, we are unique because we also offer training options as needed or desired by adopters. As trainers, we do our best to assess each dog and provide a thorough evaluation of their temperament. We offer basic obedience training packages as well as longer-term service and/or therapy training options for dogs who meet our strict temperament requirements. Check out the training options HERE.

​

We need your help:

​

1. We need more fosters!

This is always our biggest need. We firmly believe in a foster-based set-up as this gives our dogs the chance to experience a real home-life and helps us better assess their temperament and set them up for success with their new families! If you are interested in being a foster, fill out our FOSTER APPLICATION! 

​

2. Donate!

Your donations will go directly toward vet care of our rescue dogs or towards the training cost for a service dog for someone in need (it's your choice!)

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is the cost of adoption?

The average cost of adoption is $450 which goes to cover medical expenses and food, preventatives, grooming, etc.

​

2. Do you have adoption requirements?

Our requirements vary depending on the dog- for some dogs we require no kids or a fenced in yard, etc. But for other dogs we are flexible on requirements. Our goal is to consider each dog as an individual and find the right fit. 

​

3. How often do you get new dogs? How can I stay updated?

We are a small rescue, but we do get new dogs throughout the year. The best way to stay updated on new arrivals is to follow us on social media: FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM

​

4. Can you hold a dog for me until I am ready to adopt?

We primarily operate on a first come, first serve basis. If you wish to adopt a specific dog, adoption fee is required up front and the dog must be taken home within 2 weeks or entered into our training program.

​

5. Do you adopt out of state?

Yes, we do not want to limit our dogs to finding the right home, but the adopter will be responsible for transportation costs.
